I do not own Glee or HP: Ryan and JK do.

As she shuts her eyes she feels a hand drape lightly over her own and intertwine their finger with hers. "Thanks" Brittany whispers.

The next morning Santana rolls over rubbing her eyes trying to recall the events from the night before. She remembers Brittany's nightmare, but not much of anything else. She sits up in the bed frantically looking for the body that had occupied the space next to her. 'What time is it?' Santana wonders. She looks over to the window and sees that the sun is up and hears some voices in the hall way. Still unable to locate Brittany she makes her way over to her trunk and locates her clothes for class. She finds hers clothing laid out on top and a note next to them. 'Sorry I am not here, I couldn't sleep any longer and you looked so peaceful, so I didn't want to wake you. I went ahead and pulled out your clothes so that you wouldn't be late. Somehow, my black robe now has red and gold on it, and also there was a tie magically with my things. I guess we won't get yelled at for these new additions.' Santana smiled and read on. 'Anyways, please hurry down to Breakfast I don't want you to be late. Plus, we get our schedules. Brittany'

Santana smiles as she sets the note to the side and proceeds to put on her clothes as quickly as possible. She slips her red and gold tie around her neck makes quick work of a half Windsor knot and slips her Gryffindor colored robe around her and clasps the top. Making her way down the tall tower stairs she finds her way around till she reaches the Great Hall. She makes her way in and notices Brittany sitting at the long Gryffindor table with just enough room next to her for Santana. She quietly makes her way behind Brittany and snakes her hands over Brittany's eyes. "Guess who?" she whispers into Brittany's ear.

Brittany jumps in her seat at the new sensation. "Well that voice is kind of sultry and these hands" Brittany says as she places her hands on Santana's slender fingers caressing them gently. "These hands can stay pressed to my face anytime, but I suppose my only guess would be my wonderful roommate San!" She says as she turns in time to see Santana turning a slight pink in her cheeks. "Well sit down silly. They are about to hand out our schedules." Santana snaps back to reality as she takes her seat next to Brittany and awaits her schedule from Professor McGonagall.

As Santana sits and waits she begins to remember what Brittany's hands felt like on hers. She knew that when Brittany's hands were close to hers all she wanted was for them to stay like that. The last thing she remembers from that night was her hand intertwining with Brittany's and then falling asleep. She could have stayed like that forever. Brittany's hand brushed by Santana's pulling her from her daydream. Santana pulls her hand to her chest like it was on fire earning a concerning look from Brittany. Santana turns her gaze to the table as Professor McGonagall makes her presence known behind the two girls.

"Miss Lopez. Miss Pierce." She says and she hands down the two schedules to the girls. She turns her focus to Santana. "Miss Lopez, I suggest that you learn to be on time to meals, as there are more important things than sleeping. Maybe you should have your friend here be your personal alarm clock." Santana looks down at her hands and nods slowly. Prof. McGonagall makes her way down the table handing out the schedules the rest of the students.

Santana looks up at Brittany. "So, what classes you have?" Santana says as she looks down at her schedule:

Brittany continues to stare down at her schedule as though she never even hear Santana speak. "Hello, Earth to Britt?"

Brittany turns her head towards Santana and just hands her schedule over. "I don't understand it really." Santana looks down at their schedules and Santana quickly compares the two.

"Well Britt, do you want the good news or the bad news first?" Santana says as she hands Brittany her schedule back. Brittany looks up at Santana with confusion written all over her face.

"Well I guess the bad news first." She says hanging her head.

"You will be seeing more of me than you probably want to." Santana says with a smile. 'Not that I hope that's a problem. Cause' I am sure I would like for you to see a lot of me.' Santana smiles slyly. 'Wait, no…. don't think like that' she mentally scolds herself.

Brittany looks up at Santana with an ear to ear grin. "And what's the good news she says coyly."

Santana averts her gaze from the lips of the wonderful blonde. "We have every class together!" she says with all of the excitement that she can muster at this point. "So off to our first class we go. Potions!" Santana continues as they stand from the table and make their way back through the corridors down into the basement.

When they enter the class room they notice Kurt and Tina. Brittany takes a seat next to Tina and Santana takes her seat next to Brittany. She takes a quick look around the room and notices the brunette and blonde girls that were sorted into Slytherin. "Kurt what's up with two?" Santana inquires as she motions towards Rachel and Quinn.

Kurt looks to Santana. "Nothing in particular, they are in love." He shrugs his shoulders and turns back to the front.

'In love' Santana thinks. It's not like she has never seen two gay people ever, but she's always thought that this was not socially acceptable. In reality Santana had always been one to lean more towards girls because Carlos was such a dick. She looks over at Brittany who is in a deep conversation with Tina and Kurt. She returns her attention back to Quinn. She notices Quinn looking over at Rachel with a gleam in her eyes. Rachel looks down at her hands and fumbles nervously with the hem of her skirt. Quinn takes a piece of Rachel's hair and tucks it behind her ear leaving her hand resting on Rachel's cheek pulling her gaze up to Quinn's. Quinn leans closer to Rachel's face and just as she is about to press her lips to Rachel's a booming voice is heard from the back of the classroom.

"Miss Fabray, if you could please refrain from kissing your dearly beloved in my class room I would appreciate it." Quinn's hands immediately drop to her side and Rachel's face drops back to her book.

"Yes sir." The blonde says as she turns in her seat and faces the front. She glances around trying to notice if anyone is staring, and she happens to catch Santana's stares as she tries to avert her eyes from the two girls. Quinn smirks in her direction. 'I hope she liked that show' Quinn thinks as she turns back towards the front and sneaks her hand to Rachel's leg.

Santana's eyes widen at the blatant contact as she tries to keep her mind on the class at hand but can't help wondering what that smile was for. She tunes into what the black caped man at the front of the classroom was saying.

"I am professor Snape and this is Potions. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses." He says as he makes his way around the room his dark flowing robe flowing behind him. "But I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper in death." He stops at Santana and looks down at her. "Well Well Miss Lopez I have heard a lot about you." He gives her a smug smile. "I guess we will see if you are as good as your father in potions." He says turning making his way back towards the front.

Brittany turns her attention towards Santana a look of confusion adorning Brittany's face. "San does he know your parents?" Brittany says in an almost inaudible whisper. Santana slightly shrugs her shoulders and looks directly at Snape. 'What does he know about my family?' She continues to stare off at the front. Not sure how long she had been staring off she feels a familiar hand on her shoulder pulling her from her wonderland. "San Class is over we have to get to Defense against the Dark Arts. Tina says that the teacher is really scary so we gotta hurry." Santana stands quickly taking one final glance at Snape and makes her way with Brittany out of the classroom.

Santana and Brittany quickly made their way up the tower stairs and into the Classroom just in time to take their seats right behind Blaine and another Slytherin boy. Looking up to the front of the classroom she notices a staircase leading to a doorway. The door is partially cracked open and all she can see is a smaller blonde women sitting at a very large desk surrounded by trophies and medals. The blonde looks up from her work. She stands from her desk and looks up at something on her wall.

She makes her way around the table and comes to the doorway opening the door all of the way. "Why hello my little peons." She says with a huge grin. "This is Defense Against the Dark Arts and I will be your teacher Sue Sylvester." She continues as she makes her way down the staircase. "Now most of you are just going to suck at this class and some of you are going to succeed. By most of you I really mean just the ones of you that don't make me want to kill myself. And that will probably be none of you so I guess we will see where that puts us." She makes her way down an isle of tables. "You blondie." She says pointing at Brittany.

"Yes ma'am." Brittany stammers.

"First things first, why am I going to hate teaching you Miss Pierce. You come from a Muggle family and I hear you're a dumb one at that"

Brittany looks up at Sue with confusion. A single tear forming in her eye.

"That's not fair!" Santana says in fury as she stands facing Sue. "Don't ever call Brittany dumb! She is not dumb! She is smarter than any of you know!" Brittany looks up at Santana with a smile and grabs hold of Santana's hand.

Santana can feel her anger begin to subside as she feels Brittany tighten her grip on her hand.

"Oh Miss Lopez, So is this your little girlfriend you are trying to protect?" Sue says with a chuckle, in sighting a few giggles from the rest of the class. Santana's face turns a deep red but she continues to stand her ground. She will not be made a fool.

"Maybe she is maybe she isn't but I will say that she is my best friend and you will not make fun of her!" Santana says tightening her grip on Brittany's hand.

"Well we will see how this fiasco turns out." Sue says as she makes her way back to the front of the class.

Santana sits back down in her seat and Brittany leans in to Santana's ear. "Thanks San you didn't have to do that." Her breath tickles her ear, sending chills up her spine. All Santana can do is nod slightly. They sit in silence for the rest of the class taking notes and trying to make headway of Sue's useless banter.

After class the two girls made their way back to their room in silence, neither one of them able to look each other in the eyes or speak a word. As they make their way inside the busy Gryffindor common room Santana makes her way to the fireplace. Brittany stands by the stairwell staring admirably at the girl who had stood up for her, the one girl who had never called her dumb, but smart. She grins thinking about the girl's courage. Santana sits down on the couch and stares blankly into the fire. 'What am I feeling towards Brittany? Why is she arousing me so much?' She turns to locate Brittany in the crowd but she's gone. 'Probably went up to our room. I better stay down here.'

Santana sits and meditates on Brittany and their recent actions and feelings. She is unsure of how long she has been sitting there staring into the fire, but all of the other students are making their way down to the Great Hall for dinner. Santana stays put in the same spot on the couch. She suddenly feels a recognizable hand on her shoulder. This feeling sends chills down her spine and pulls on her heart strings. She leans her head into the touch. Brittany moves Santana's head back so that it is resting on the headrest of the couch. She looks longingly into Santana's eyes. Santana feels as if she is looking right into her soul. She closes her eyes and basks in the feeling of the moment. She feels warm breath near her face, her breath catches in her throat, and she is too scared to open her eyes; to look upon the beautiful girls face. Brittany puts both hands on Santana's face and quickly shortens the distance between their faces to places a simple kiss on Santana's lips. A small moan escapes Santana's lips as Brittany deepens the kiss. Santana never wants this moment to end. But just as soon as the kiss begins it ends. Brittany pulls back keeping hold of Santana's face. She gives her a smile. "Thank you for everything." She whispers and grazes her lips once more across Santana's lips.

Please read and review! I hope this is good enough!
